Law & Business Seminar:

Boards and AI

How feasible is it for boards of directors to use AI as part of their oversight and decision making? Could AI promote better standards of corporate governance? Could AI take over some of the functions currently given to boards, or even perhaps replace boards? This webinar will consider the potential role for artificial intelligence in corporate decision making processes.
